Black Networked Resistance

"With subtle force, Black Networked Resistance reminds us of both the need for and the value of rehabilitating, rearticulating, and recentering Blackness and Black feminist thought in our conversations about the birth, evolution, and future of the digital."--Charlton McIlwain, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University and author of Black Software: The Internet and Racial Justice, from the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter "Black Networked Resistance is a unique and timely contribution to a growing treasure trove of scholarship on Black everyday online life. Raven Maragh-Lloyd's sensitive, insightful, and eminently useful readings demonstrate the nuanced 'hows' of networked resistance. The case studies in this book are entirely fresh, as is Maragh-Lloyd's voice."--Ralina Joseph, Professor of Race and Communication at the University of Washington, Seattle "A model of nuanced and historically grounded research. Maragh-Lloyd deftly navigates tensions between resistance and joy in this examination of Black community, care, and humor across digital platforms. Black Networked Resistance breaks new ground in Black digital studies, positioning Black social media practices in rich historical traditions to reveal the creativity and inventiveness of Black Americans online."--Sarah Florini, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Arizona State University
